Where to Eat
I try to keep fast food to a minimum, but if you want a to grab a quick bite; Checkers serves juicy hamburgers and fabulous crinkle fries.
A few blocks from my hotel was a fabulous outdoor Sports Bar & Restaurant; Opera House . The food and service were amazing. This is a fun spot to sit, relax and enjoy the breeze swaying through the palm trees.
Attached to the Marriott hotel is a small shopping center with 4-6 eateries. The one and only pizza restaurant offers great specials that include beverages. Check it out!
Catch Bar & Grill inside the hotel, offers a variety of cuisine including scrumptious appetizers.
Where to Stay
Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay is the best place to enjoy the best of Miami in 48 hours. When making a reservation, be sure to ask for a view of the bay. The scenery is breathtaking and so beautiful. I was on the 20th floor and loved waking up to the turquoise water view.
The staff at the hotel were very friendly and go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. If you aren't signed up to Marriott Rewards, be sure to do so before leaving home. I've banked a lot of points and love using them at "Bonvoy" properties.
Also located at the back of the hotel is a marina. Bask in the sunshine and views by taking a long walk along the marina. You have the option to walk across the nearby bridge and take in more of sites.
